DC Hostel - A collaborative effort across disciplines
As a group of 20 students, we were tasked with designing a hostel and all of its systems on a theorhetical site in DC. Industrial design students were in charge of furniture and installations while architecture and interiors designed the structure. The roof gardens and surrounding landscape were the responsibility of landscape students.
